But before, HD video would automatically play at large scale, all others would play at small scale.  My preference for near full-screen playback prompted such scaling tricks.

Now all I'm saying is that there's no need to worry about pixellation or jagged edges if you scale up because antialiasing takes care of the problem.  I do it for rendering time efficiency and to have that 720 HD option included.  Of course it doesn't make a difference but me, I'd like to have it.]]></content>

This [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_MaoDK2JDA]footage[/url] was rendered at 720x405 but exported at 1280x720.  Can anyone tell it was scaled up?

The tooth fairy and easter bunny shots [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LikpzSpYYD8]here[/url] were both rendered at 720x480 then scaled up (reason being it took less time to render at a lower resolution for certain shots involving refraction).

I'd say if you can get away with it, then go for it.  I don't see why you're worried about jagged edges and pixellation when most multimedia softwares have antialiasing methods to smooth out the jagged edges.  You must be looking at a prerendered playback or something if you're still seeing jaggedness.  The exported footage shouldn't come out jagged, but smooth after antialiasing.]]></content>

Wait, what?

If your flaming pixel's are not HD, your not going to get HD. So what's the point? You could crop the end result to 16:9 and it would fill the YouTube player, but why bother up-scaling it? Your not magicly going to get more pixels by upscaling a 640x480 image. If a films not in HD do you go: That sucks, NO HD! No. Don't bother.

You will always have the same amount of pixels!]]></content>

It's simple. If you're aiming for HD it's actually worth trying! But honestly, as most of those guys are unable to achieve that good HD quality it just seems overrated. Yes it's basically youtube HD, but it's not the real HD we see on TV. What's the point of having an HD video if it's not actually anything special (it's quality is still medium).]]></content>

[url=http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132460]From the YouTube Article[/url]:

[b]Originals Please![/b]
The less a video is re-encoded prior to uploading, the better the resulting YouTube video quality. We encourage you to upload your videos as close to the original source format as possible, with a minimum of intermediate re-encoding steps. Each re-encoding can generally degrade the quality of your video and create some specific problems too, which we'll address below.

[b]Aspect Ratio[/b]
The aspect ratio of the original source video should always be maintained when it's uploaded: Uploaded videos should never include letterboxing or pillarboxing bars.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The YouTube video player is at 480p resolution, so really, it's 720/1080p HD being scaled down to size. What you could conceivably do is keep your video at 640x480, then add a vertical letterboxes to the sides so that the video itself fits to a 16:9 format, then upscale the video to 1280x720 for the HD. You'll be scaling up pixels, sure, but like I said, the YouTube player is at 480p, so it's not really that much of a loss, if any.

The only way to really upload true HD is to capture in true HD in the first place.]]></content>
